Abstract:
This disclosure relates to network infrastructure identification by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. According to one embodiment, one or more requests for infrastructure identification information may be transmitted. Each request may indicate a current location of the UE. A respective response may be received to each corresponding respective request. Each respective response may include infrastructure identification information for the current location indicated in the corresponding respective request. Features such as vendor, type, model, or version of cellular network infrastructure equipment with which the UE performs cellular communication may be identified based on the response(s), and features specific to the identified equipment may accordingly be implemented during such cellular communication.
